Remember that retailers can't offer digital downloads of office

I think that's the point Ss is trying to make.

Superscaper has posted elsewhere on this forum about how he obtained his Office 2007 through download.

bookduck, your link refers to MS selling via download.

So MS don't do Value Added Resellers any more, where you buy a whole load of their s/w to sell on? Like 100 license keys? Know they did sell their box software along these lines.

I followed the advice of an earlier post and uprated my dispute with paypal tonight.
I also made a link to this forum and suggested that there was plenty of evidence against these companies acting illegally.
Within the hour I got a reply to say that I have had a full refund.
:j
I am grateful for that but am still annoyed that this is being allowed to happen, and that Paypal is allowing itself tpo be linked with such websites.
Some good work has been done by superscraper and others in finding the origins of these sites and reporting them to the relevant authorities.
I have a contact at trading standards and will be contacting him for advice on this subject.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, these people are going to continue to con people out of their money until something is done about it.
To reiterate what was saiD earlier by someone else. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE COMPANIES. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY!!

Paypal resolved my case and i'm supposed to have received a refund, however, no money has been put back into my account as of yet. I presume it takes a couple of days?

I've also received another e-mail from this joker stating that i've ordered office again on today the 12th. I've checked paypal and my bank but no attempt has been made to withdraw money, thankfully.

Have now found that you can buy a licence from Microsoft for all or parts of the trial program at much lower rates than Amazon. For example Outlook is £43.93 ((plus £8.21 for a back-up cd) as opposed to Amazon's price of £85.48. Maybe converting a trial version of other office products may be a cheaper option of buying legitimate MS software.

Got a response from Companies House. They're going to contact esoftwareworld officially because they are in breach of the Companies Act which is a fineable offence, since they have not record of them.

I'm sure you will be okay. My funds from Paypal came up on bank this morning, Paypal certainly appear to have taken prompt action once informed of situation, well done them and this site.:T

I was seduced by the price to order Office 2007 Enterprise Version and Photoshop CS3 Extended from eXisoftware on 2nd November. Paid by PayPal and was immediately worried when the link to take me back to the vendor's site to download the software didn't work. I did a bit of Googling and found a couple of forums with threads on the subject of eXisoftware not delivering so I phoned PayPal and received an (almost) instant refund.

A couple of forum contributors reported that they had actually received the software they had bought, but the fact that I had had no acknowledgement of my order convinced me that this operation was a scam. Then on 11th November, nine days after the order, I received two e-mails with download links, invoices and licence keys for the above applications. The software is now installed, working beautifully and being automatically updated by Microsoft and Adobe respectively.

I am left wondering what kind of outfit eXisoftware really is. Their website and the clones look very professional, but their immediate post-order inaction is unforgivable for a reasonably efficient individual or organisation. The whole operation starts off looking like a scam and I cannot believe any legitimate vendor would behave like this. I now know of three customers who report having had their orders delivered, but maybe this is part of the scam? Anyway, I'm not complaining too loudly! Have you seen what Amazon charges for CS3 Extended? :rotfl:

I'm sorry to say that you've actually got illegal software (if you're going to get illegal software then why pay for it?). As I've said numerous times genuine retailers can't legally offer Office downloads, only Microsoft themselves can offer direct downloads for retail. You've got pirated copies with keygen generated serial numbers. The fact you can get updates makes no difference, they're still illegal. If you don't think they're software pirates then why do you think they're using a fake company name and a fake address?
